We are about to start a 2 week block on 'The Gruffalo' by Julia Donaldson.

We will continue to practise writing sentences that start with a capital letter and end with a full stop. We will make them more exciting and interesting to read by adding adjectives, similes, noun phrases and conjunctions.

Challenge: Design your own monster and write a short description to go with it.

We have learnt them by heart and recited them aloud to other children. We then picked out the rhyming words and now understand that words must end with the same sound in order for them to rhyme e.g. rat, cat, mat

With Bonfire Night approaching, we will be writing our own fireworks poems. Look at this picture of fireworks. What can we say about what we can see, what we could hear, what we could smell and how we might feel watching them?
